Instagram DNT is a man of mystery and says that he wants his fans to love the music, and not just theperson putting out the material. On May 10, he is releasing his debut five song EP called MyFive Faces that features the new single “Girl,” that is complete with a catchy hook and an epicbass line.  “The record is about the jealousy that I've been through, but it also has a double entendre with what the girl went through during the story of the break up i'm narrating, as the rest of the EP has,” he said. “The song sounds happy with the melody and everything, but it is also really sad.”The story in the song is about being jealous of the girl who is in another relationship after theirbreakup, but it turns out she isn't happy either because it's just something meaningless. It issomething to just fill the void.The tune is one that is timeless, reminiscent of disco and new age funk, with a poppy, dancey groove. The intense, yet ethereal, beat complements perfectly with DNT's vocals, telling the tough story of love and jealousy. DNT explained that almost everyone in his family plays music, and he has been playing keyboard and singing since he was a child. He has been working on this EP for eight months,and has been involved in co-producing it.  DNT wrote “Girl?” in July when the events he sings about just happened. He then got someone to put a beat under it, but then he scrapped everything and started fresh. He wrote the bass line that comes before the chorus, which is simple and also masterfully done to uptick the song's vibe in what is more akin to an ‘80s beat. “This is the only track that was 100% all me,” DNT said. “My engineer helped me with the mix, but I totally composed it.”The EP includes:1. On Top - Takeover 2. Parties I Eye-Rolled Rolling Ecstasy3. Girls?4. Mirage of Us5. Beatrice & The DevilEach song is associated with a different face, or feeling. “On Top - Takeover” has to do with sexand is a remix of an unreleased song by The Weeknd. “Parties I Eye-Rolled Rolling Ecstasy” has to do with drugs, but it is a song he wrote when hewas sober originally titled “Mermaids Calling.” It talks about the life that he and his friends wereliving. The meaning is about guys who go partying every night and their mothers are waiting onthe doorstep for them with a cross. She knows every time they go out partying, she isn't sure ifhe is coming back.“It's about crazy night life, and actually I lost a person I knew like that right after I wrote it,” he said. “His name is hidden in the title” The fourth song on the album, “Mirage of Us” has the face of regret. This is a jazzy number, and DNT made the drums poppy but with an R&B vibe. The final song on the album, “Beatrice & The Devil” is about pain. It is actually two trackscombined. This directly relates to Dante of the Divine Comedy, Beatrice is the girl Dante isfollowing through Hell till Paradise. The song is about himself trying to get this girl in lovethrough sex, but in reality all she wanted was for someone to make her feel loved and protected.It transitions right into the Devil portion of the song, and is a rap section where the Devil takesthe lead in the artist.“Never let your feelings get you down,” DNT said. “I've been through some things, but you don't have to let your feelings overtake you.” DNT, which has a multitude of meanings that include Dante (From Divine Comedy) and “Do not trust,” is brand new to the music industry. Inspired by The Weeknd, he feels that this anonymity helped him get to where he is as one of the top musicians around. Some of his other biggest inspirations include XXXTentacion and Travis Scott, and DNT also has a huge appreciation for Tame Impala's music.He is always working, and is already getting his next mixtape ready. DNT has the songs writtenand plans to get started on recording right after the release of this EP.“I have written five other albums so I am prepared,” he said. “I don't like doing things just out ofnowhere. Everything has a meaning for me.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

China has a plan to weaken and dominate the United States and our government is unwilling to do anything to stop it. While the U.S. might contemplate what military action against China would look like, the communists in Beijing are well down their path of "unrestricted warfare."And Sara says it is well past time for the U.S. to acknowledge reality. We already know about China sending the precursor chemicals to Mexican drug cartels to mix and then poison Americans. We saw the spy balloon track our sensitive military sites with no consequences, and entities connected to the Chinese Communist Party are aggressively buying up land close to military bases.And just this week, we have reports of an unlicensed biolab in California with ties to China that contained 20 or more infectious agents, including HIV and coronavirus. Plus, a mysterious company recently gobbled up more than 50,000 acres of land near Travis Air Force Base.China is at war with us whether we want to admit it or not. Sara reminds us that the only way to stop the CCP is for our government to tell us the truth, call out Beijing's evil actions, and start putting America First for a change.Please visit our great sponsors:Allegiance Goldhttps://protectwithsara.comClick or Call 877-702-7272 tell them Sara sent you and get $5,000 of free silver on a qualifying purchase.

Have you ever wondered what life as a Mormon is like? In some ways it is similar to how traditional Christians experience their faith life. In other ways it is vastly different. In the next few episodes, we will explore the core experiences of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of LDS. The Church Is Central to Life Mormons call it simply “The Church” - as if it is the only oneShorthand for the entire history, doctrine, practice, and organization of the LDS ChurchMormons don't just “go to church” - for active members, it is their lifeImmensely dedicated to the ChurchSignificant investment of time, money, energy, and loyaltyThe reason → faithful Mormons believe that their church is the only true church on earthThe very church Jesus foundedThe only vehicle through which salvation can be achievedWithout its teachings, ordinances, and authority, no one can get to the highest level of heaven. How the LDS Church Is OrganizedThe LDS Church has almost 7 million members in the USLocal unit of organization = the “ward” 300 people or so living near each otherAlmost 13,000 wards in US5 to 12 wards make up a larger region called “stake”The Church is led from Salt Lake City by a large staff of administratorsAt the top of the hierarchy are the “General Authorities”. LDS believe → their Church is led by living prophets who speak and act for GodThe supreme leader = President of the Church, known also as “The Prophet.” Assisted by two counselors; these 3 make up the First Presidency. Policy is set by the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, along with 1st PresidencyThese 12 - like the President - hold their positions for life. These men are held in high esteem by church membersActive Mormons decorate homes with portraits of the PresidentPeople reverently share personal encounters they have had with apostles and prophets.General Authorities include other groups that implement church policy regionallyUnder them, LDS Church is governed by network of managers & career bureaucratsUltimately, the LDS Church is administered by the power of the priesthoodMormons consider this to be the authority to act in God's nameHow Members Experience the LDS ChurchDay in, day out → a Mormon's life & relationships center around the local ward they attendBut much of LDS life is experienced in relation to the Church as a whole. Church holds General Conference every spring and fall. Local ward meetings are canceled on those weekendsMembers encouraged to watch ConferenceEagerly anticipate what new changes the Prophet will introduceMany LDS young adults will attend a church-owned college (BYU, etc)The Church Education System runs classes for high school and college studentsTypically at buildings adjacent to schools. High school students attend “Seminary”College students go to the “LDS Institute of Religion” LDS Welfare Services provides material help for people during times of need. Many members will interact with Welfare Services either as a volunteer or as a recipientThe Local CongregationTypical ward = 300-400 members (not all active) Unlike traditional churches, every LDS ward has set boundariesMembers have no choice but to attend the ward in which they liveLDS ward is similar in many ways to any local churchWeekly meetings / programs for various age groupsClasses for childrenGroups for young men / young womenAdult groups for men / womenProvides a close-knit...

If you're an NBA 2K23 gamer, you'll have noticed there is a new player on the Pelicans roster and he hails from my hometown Bendigo in Central Victoria. Australian basketballer https://www.instagram.com/dysondaniels/ (Dyson Daniels) is the latest star to be drafted into the NBA. The 19 year old went at number 8 to the New Orleans Pelicans and has signed a four year contract rumoured to be around $US25M with $US5.5M earned in his rookie season for 2022-23. Of course, behind every successful athlete is a parent (or two in this case). Proud mum https://www.instagram.com/brikittakool (Brikitta Kool-Daniels), with her husband Ricky Daniels, have helped Dyson realise his dream of playing in the NBA.  Basketball talent runs in the family with eldest son Kai playing college basketball for Regis University and youngest son Dash recently named among Australia's top 20 under 16 hoopers.  All three boys have played representative basketball which translates into many hours spent training and traveling. That in itself sounds like a full time job but somehow Brikitta and Ricky have managed to successfully run Bendigo's best gym, https://www.dclub247fitness.com.au/ (D-Club), for over 20 years.  If you'd like to hear more about Brikitta's business journey skip back to episode 5. So what does it take for a kid in country Victoria to play ball on the biggest stage in the world? In this exclusive interview, Brikitta shares with us her family's basketball journey and the whirlwind experience of the NBA draft. We talk about the media attention, the sacrifices, that big NBA contract, managing the expectations on younger son Dash, taking time out of the business, and going viral all thanks to a stunning white dress. Plus Brikitta shares with us an exclusive announcement in regards to Dyson. Meet my very good friend Brikitta, mum of Australia's newest NBA star.

Get to the garden, because we are back for our third season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're going back to 2010's offering in Japan! Over these nine weeks, two guys who always find time to zip - Logan & Michael - are recapping and looking back at all that happened in the Land of Samurai, Shogun and the Rising Sun, continuing with the fourth episode and execution of Barbara. In this episode - Frits takes a heel turn, we sound like casual fans, Logan gets distracted (twice!), Erik learns what a mobile phone is, Pieter Jan goes Good Will Hunting, Chain Gang holds a record (we think), we wonder where Pieter Jan was hiding for the stretcher challenge, there's a quick tour through Chain Gang history, Logan learns about a Patreon tier, Frits loses his leverage, we talk about underedited players and we discuss what the Mole actually did this week. You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube or you can tweet Michael & Logan directly! We will see you next week for Episode 5! Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. As with some of our previous Historical seasons, there is a small spoiler section at the end of the episode - starting at 59:30. Any season we have already covered (WIDM 17-22 and Renaissance; Belgie 4-10) is fair game though. In addition, due to Chain Gang's return we also discuss its results in US5, Germany 6 (which you should definitely watch if you like US Mole!), France and Australia 6. Additional note: Does anyone feel sorry for Barbara? Twice she got a red screen, and she still didn't change her suspicion! What a numpty...

Wasserspringen oder Turmspringen? Hauptsache Halle an der Saale! Splash-Sebo, Death-Dennis und Crazy-Chris nehmen euch heute mit in die Planung für die Synchronkür vom 1-Meter-Brett mit Izzy von US5, Matze Mester und Elton.

市场对奢侈品和潮牌联名都做出了些什么反应？｜一｜联名代表案例及反馈庄主:关于奢侈品跨界联名，我第一个想到的就是LV X NIKE。从前年开始，NIKE就开始陆续和许多奢侈X潮奢品牌推出了联名。DIOR、OFF WHITE、LV是其中几个比较有代表性的品牌。（图片来源：NIKE官网）这款联名限量200双，包括下面的橙色皮箱，购买渠道是通过苏富比拍卖。这个联名是用了NIKE AIR FORCE 1以及LV经典的MONOGRAM组合而成的，两个品牌都拿出了自己最有辨识度的品牌资产。芸友queeni:这款鞋的设计很有辨识度。芸友艺航:最高拍了多少元呀？ 至少以万为单位了吧。芸友queeni:大几十万人民币吧。庄主:这一系列的鞋价格在几十万美元。最贵的一双US5码拍到35万美元，225万人民币。不含手续费。在NIKE2022财年三季度的电话会上，这个联名是作为非常重要的营销事件被传播的。NIKE现任总裁专门提到了这个联名，并且把拍卖所得捐赠给了Virgil的基金会，这个基金会是给黑人、非裔美国人和非洲裔学生提供奖学金和就业指导的。芸友艺航:所以这种限量发售造势和拍卖的营销（售卖）形式，是不是只适合这样强强联合的品牌来做？庄主:去年就已经爆出了LV和NIKE会出一系列联名的消息，虽然不能确定准确性，很有可能这次拍卖只是个开始。大家觉得他们为什么要做这次拍卖？营销一定是一个很重要的点，并且NIKE这方面玩得很熟练。大家觉得这个营销事件能够起到什么作用？是面向哪些人？能够带来什么效果？芸友queeni:炒热度。我认为这是广告的另外一种方式。这算是饥饿营销吧？芸友艺航:先放个大噱头？庄主:是的，但可能不太完整。营销关注的是与消费者的沟通。从触达角度来看，这次联名事件，具有全球影响力，确实起到了很好的效果。从营销角度来看，一方面与全球关注NIKE或者潮流领域的人群做了一次沟通，同时触达了高端人群，拉高了品牌价值感知。另一方面，捐赠款项给到Virgil的基金会，与他们的主要市场——北美相关。大家知道欧美国家对于性别议题、人权议题的关注，事实上这是一个非常好的对外正向展现品牌形象的机会。芸友Vincent 郑:是的，在可持续上加分。庄主:从产品角度看，其实拍卖出的百万高价，会成为整个联名系列的价值锚点，能够有效地拉高下一步发售的LV X NIKE的市场热度和市场价格。对于高奢人士来说，穿一双200万市值，但是价格同款不同色的鞋子，或许也是能接受的。而这些人原来可能不是NIKE的主要受众或者品牌缪斯。（图片来源：VOGUE官网）这是上个月GUCCI的秀场，在秀场发布了ADIDAS和GUCCI的联名合作产品。我选取了一些资料，大家可以参考下。其实这不是ADIDAS和奢侈品第一次合作，作为NIKE的老对头，前年ADIDAS几乎和NIKE同节奏发布了PRADA的联名项目。同时最近也有ADIDAS X BALENCIAGE的合作消息流出。这是之前ADIDAS和PRADA合作的产品，一双手工打造的superstar贝壳头球鞋，发售价格在4000元左右。芸友艺航:拍照的摄影师也是很走心，除了白手套，旁边还有皮具打孔器。庄主:普通的贝壳头球鞋，价格在799。这双的区别在这里。（图片来源：PRADA官网截图）当然整体鞋身皮质也有升级。其他的和一双全白的贝壳头是一致的。下一个是FILA X LANVIN：（图片来源：FILA公众号）他们也做了服装配饰。这款GARA鞋款普通配色在1080元左右。（图片来源：FILA公众号）下一个是手表品牌。OMEGA x SWATCH（图片来源：SWATCH官网）芸友艺航:SWATCH是我学生以及初入职场时的心头爱。庄主:这是上个月发布的比较有影响力的联名，也是潮品和奢品的组合，在全球的各个社交媒体上引起了比较广泛的讨论。（图片来源：公众号Sneaker马尼亚）这次的联名产品与OMEGA的超霸系列非常像。同时社交媒体有两种声音，一种刚发售的火爆销售，有些市场的市场价甚至高达两万，过了段时间冷静下来之后，价格稳定在了6-7k。另外一个声音是来自OMEGA的爱好者，其中一部分人表示要出掉自己手上的OMEGA超霸手表。所以其实这个联名是两极分化的。｜二｜联名双方的目的和联名效果庄主:（图片来源：公众号Sneaker马尼亚）看了这些联名后，大家觉得潮流品牌做这类联名想达成什么目标？奢侈品牌有什么目标？芸友Vincent 郑:很多联名其实都是圈子里面某品牌的设计师和另一个品牌的设计师是好兄弟，就做联名了。用联名吸引新的流量和消费者。现在没钱买但是之后可能有钱买，有些有能力的新粉就可以直接去买。芸友艺航:一定程度应该是想剑走偏锋，输出一部分到非“奢侈品”客群内吧？我认为在一定程度上对拓客有帮助。庄主:是的，SACAI应该有借助NIKE的全球影响力的想法，但它本身在时尚领域也比较有影响力。通过NIKE的全球网络，让全世界知道他。同时由于一些品牌的潮流属性，能够在一定程度上起到年轻化的效果。总结一下，对于奢侈品来说。一方面为了潮流、年轻化的品牌联想，另一方面，通过运动品牌的全球影响力，向外传播自己的品牌。其实奢侈品联名一直争议不断，除了好处大家觉得他还会带来什么问题？刚刚看的案例里，有些品牌做得好，有些品牌有一些提升的空间，大家觉得应该怎么做，才能够在满足联名目的的同时，做好联名方案和产品发布？芸友Vincent 郑:我认为产品还是要好看，价格不可以太高。芸友艺航:我觉得他们有以下几点值得其他品牌借鉴：（1）限量发售（能更好的保护两个品牌原有调性）；（2）设计和材料本身具有辨识度、审美性；（3）拍卖形式，赚足噱头，也收获盆满钵满。庄主:产品是核心，价格可以贴近原产品价格，但要做限量。只要限量，市场就会给到一个公允的市场价，事实上高定价带来的“破发”反而不如低定价带来的高市场价格。当然不是鼓励炒作，但对于运动品牌、潮流品牌来说，这或许是更好的策略。产品上，设计和材料需要用心，也就是老郑说的好看。高定价需要由高价值来支撑，同时对于运动品牌的受众来说，辨识度或许是必须的，对于这部分人群，辨识度能够满足高层次的需求，例如社交、尊重（小圈子）。能够提高价值感的营销策划中拍卖是一种，但是或许并非所有品牌都有这个品牌资产，能够上苏富比的拍卖场并拍出如此高价。芸友艺航:是的，中高端做产品一定要做到中高端消费人群的心坎里。那非高端、非国际知名品牌，可以走这条路吗？庄主:其实不一定是面向中高端消费人群，即便是运动品牌目前的受众，低定价能够扩大受众范围，反而可能把产品的市场价推得更高，我觉得这可能比较难实现。但是可以采取借势的方式，借用奢品的资源，比如说中高端人士会关注哪些媒体资源或者认可哪些KOL、KOC，比如说在时装周的露出（中国李宁）。

China is in the news a lot these days.  One of its declared goals that has received less attention, is that is that by 2025 its weather modification programme will allow China to control rain and snow across an area that is more than one-and-a-half times the size of India, or 20 times the size of the UK.  China's State Council said weather modification will "intensify" in areas of mitigating drought, hail, fires and high temperatures, while also assisting agricultural production and preserving ecologically protected areas.  We don't know how successful will China be in controlling their own weather but what will the impacts be on neighbouring countries? How will their weather be affected by these technologies and experiments? And as China ramps up its investments in weather modification technologies, shouldn't rich countries like the US be doing the same - rather than wasting money and enriching millionaires on renewable energy subsidies that seriously impact energy security and costs to consumers. We talk to resident meteorologist Kirk Clyatt about weather modification and recent developments in this area. Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan has just been signed into law. The measure is the sixth major COVID-19 relief bill Congress has authorized in a year, and a sum of “emergency” spending totalling around $US5 ($6) trillion.   The OECD has already projected the U.S. economy will grow by 6.5% this year, so will this supercharge the economy or just help struggling Americans and small businesses emerge from the devastation of Covid lockdowns imposed by their Governments. We look more closely at what is contained in this bill and how it will affect business and the economy.  Blake Christian, a Partner with Holthouse Carlin & Van Trigt looks more closely at what is contained in this bill and how it will affect business and the economy.

A video clip created by digital artist Beeple, whose real name is Mike Winkelmann, was flipped for a record $6.6 million recently. It had originally been bought for around $67,000. Beeple is like a banksy of digital art … Esquire has a good profile on him. CryptoKitties were one of the earliest types of NFTs in 2017 - the idea of buying a digital cat was considered weird back then. What kinda stuff can I buy as an NFT? There's a lot of art. Some of it seems a bit trolly - a Homer Simpson Pepe digital artwork was sold recently forl $390,000 online. In the “real art world” Robert Alice sold his artwork Block 21- at christies auction house last year for $130,000. it was a physical painting that also comes with an NFT. The two pieces are linked: the digital component of the artwork is only visible during daylight within the time zone in which it is geographically located. As the owner of the NFT, the buyer can control the visibility of the artwork by changing where it is located. According to Business Insider, the most popular NFT platform – NBA Top Shot – has sold nearly $US270 ($349) million worth of unique NBA video highlights. These are clips you can find online - but they've been turned into digital playing cards thanks to blockchain. For sports fans The Bleacher report has a good feature on the marketplace. Who's making money? Billionaire investor Mark Cuban is into NFTs has been vocal about his investment in digital tokens like NFTs.Grimes made $US5.8 ($7) million in under 20 minutes selling her digital collection WarNymph on the NFT trading platform Nifty Gateway.Lindsey Lohan sold an NFT for $US59,000 ($76,216) in February. How do I buy one? In order to purchase an NFT, buyers must use digital currencies like Ethereum's Ether (ETH) orWorld Asset eXchange (WAX). While ETH is one of the most popular NFT currencies, each platform chooses its digital wallet service.Nifty Gateway, OpenSea, Rarible, SuperRare,

Titled Aya to Majo (Aya and the Witch), the movie will air on NHK in Japan this winter. Earwig is an orphan girl who has lived at St. Morwald's Home for Children ever since she was a baby, but all of that changes the day that she is adopted by a mysterious woman named Bella Yaga, who turns out to be a terrible witch and brings Earwig to live in her home of supernatural trinkets. With help from a talking cat, Earwig must use her wits to survive in her new magical surroundings. The colourful carousel of images sees a digression from the traditional, hand-drawn animation that Studio Ghibli is well-renowned for. Instead, this feature has opted for a new kind of art style with an entirely 3D computer-generated story that centres around Earwig, the young girl with the broomstick. Hayao Miyazaki is overseeing the adaptation’s planning, while his son Goro, who helmed From Up On Poppy Hill, is directing. Toshio Suzuki is producing.21 June 2020 – Lilo & Stitch turns 18 - https://comicbook.com/movies/news/lilo-and-stitch-fans-celebrate-anniversary-twitter-trend/18 years ago, Lilo & Stitch hit theaters, spawning a franchise still beloved by Disney fans all these years later. After grossing $273.1 million at the box office for Walt Disney animation, the fan-favorite animated feature went on to introduce three more movies and a television series. A year after its release, the Stitch-centric Stitch! The Movie hit theaters and two years after that, Lilo & Stich 2: Stitch Has a Glitch made its way to the masses. The franchise then ended with Leroy & Stitch and Lilo & Stitch: The Series, both of which set sail in 2006. More recently, however, new reports have surfaced that say Disney+ is now developing a hybrid live-action/CGI remake for the platform. Prior to any coronavirus shutdowns, the film was reported to start production later this year. No further information has been released about the project as of now.22 June 2020 – Kurt Cobain's MTV Unplugged guitar sells to Australian for record $9m - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-22/kurt-cobains-guitar-bought-by-australian-for-9-million/12379316An Australian businessman hopes his purchase of music icon Kurt Cobain's acoustic guitar could help boost the struggling global music industry. The 1959 Martin D-18E guitar was played by Cobain during his 1993 MTV Unplugged performance in New York. It now holds the record for being the most expensive guitar in the world after being purchased by the founder of Rode Microphones, Peter Freedman, for $US6 million ($8.8 million). Mr Freedman plans to display the guitar on a worldwide tour, the proceeds of which will go back to the performing arts sector. "I did it to highlight the massive crisis in the arts," he told ABC Radio Brisbane. "I've got the attention of government, I've got the attention of everyone asking me why I did it." "Musos and entertainers get nothing — it's as though they don't exist," he said. His main motivation is to lobby on behalf of musicians in countries like as Germany, the UK and Australia. "The money that comes from it mightn't be much, but it's the focus on governments, and the effects of this will last forever if I do it right," Mr Freedman."It's not the money we need, it's the people, the support.23 June 2020 – Joel Schumacher passes away at 80 - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-23/filmmaker-joel-schumacher-dies-at-80/12383008The man behind the flamboyant reinvention of Hollywood's Batman franchise, Joel Schumacher has died. From a job dressing department store windows to costume design for Woody Allen's 1970s movies Interiors and Sleeper, the New Yorker made his mark on the big screen in 1985 with the coming-of-age movie St Elmo's Fire. That project launched the careers of the Brat Pack — Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy — and had the movie industry clamouring for more of Schumacher's brilliance. The Lost Boys, Flatliners, John Grisham adaptations The Client and A Time to Kill and the critically acclaimed Falling Down followed. Audiences loved Schumacher's overly dramatic and exuberant Batman Forever in 1995, but panned its follow-up, Batman & Robin in 1997. After theBatman films, Schumacher pulled back from blockbusters and returned to making minimalist films such as Tigerland and Phone Booth, both earning positive reviews. He also directed The Phantom of the Opera , The Number 23, and two episodes of House of Cards. He died from cancer in New York City.24 June 2020 – Segway ends production - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-24/segway-ends-production-of-vehicle-falls/12386530Segway is ending the production of its namesake vehicle. The two-wheeled personal transporter, which the company boldly claimed would revolutionise the way people got around, will be retired on July 15. While used by tourists and some police forces, the vehicle also became known for high-profile crashes. It even resulted in the death of a former Segway company president, who drove one off a cliff in 2009. The company said 21 employees would be laid off, another 12 employees would stay on for two months to a year, and five would remain at the Bedford, New Hampshire facility. The transportation revolution that inventor Dean Kamen envisioned when he founded the company in 1999 never took off. The Segway's original price tag of around $US5,000 was a hurdle for many customers. It was also challenging to ride, because the rider had to be balanced at a specific angle for the vehicle to move forward. If the rider's weight shifted too much in any direction, it could easily spin out of control and throw the rider off. They were banned in some cities because users could easily lose control if they were not balanced properly. In 2017, Segway got into the scooter business, just as the light, inexpensive and easy-to-ride two-wheelers took over urban streets. It comes after decades of high-profile falls, viral videos and even the death of a former company owner.23 June 2020 – Deus Ex turns 20- https://techraptor.net/gaming/features/deus-ex-20th-anniversary-nameless-mod-retrospective- https://www.techradar.com/au/news/deus-ex-20th-anniversary-programmer-scott-martin-talks-about-working-on-the-pc-gaming-masterpieceIf a game came out today that depicted a world ravaged by a viral outbreak, dehumanized by capitalism, in the throes of mass public riots, gripped by anti-government sentiment, and witnessing the progressive breakdown of American society amid the rise of China as an autonomous superpower, you might think it was too on-the-nose. Twenty years ago however, it was simply the setting of a radical, and somewhat prophetic video game, called Deus Ex. Directed by System Shock producer Warren Spector and designed by future Dishonored creative director Harvey Smith, Deus Ex represented a profound leap in both storytelling and mechanical depth for first-person video games. The game placed players in the role of J.C. Denton, a cybernetically augmented United Nations Anti-Terrorism agent who gradually unravels a web of conspiracies gripping the dark cyberpunk future of 2052. Its sprawling world was dense with philosophical questions, conflicted morality, deep characters, and all the ingredients that make an instant classic; its character customization system and resulting player freedom is still imitated today. It’s success spawned a lukewarm sequel in 2003 withInvisible War, and then a successful revival in 2011 with the prequel Human Revolution and its own sequel in 2016,Mankind Divided. The original game is fondly remembered in PC gaming communities with the meme, “every time you mention it, someone will install it.”. Seven years after its release, Deus Ex served as the basis for one of the most impressive mods of its generation, known only as The Nameless Mod. Reflecting on the original Deus Ex's revered place in PC gaming history, Scott Martin one of the only three programmers tasked with coding the entire game using the very first Unreal Engine, keeps it humble. "I feel honored and privileged to have worked on the game," he said, "and happy that so many people still remember it fondly after all this time!"Remembrances22 June 1965 – David O. Selznick - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_O._SelznickAmerican film producer, screenwriter and film studio executive. He is best known for producing Gone with the Wind (1939) and Rebecca (1940), each earning him an Academy Award for Best Picture. In 1926, Selznick moved to Hollywood, and with the help of his father's connections, he gained a job as an assistant story editor at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. He left MGM for Paramount Pictures in 1928, where he worked until 1931, when he joined RKO as Head of Production. His years at RKO were fruitful, and he worked on many films, including A Bill of Divorcement , Rockabye,Bird of Paradise, and King Kong. Despite his output of successful movies at MGM,Paramount Pictures, and RKO Pictures, Selznick longed to be an independent producer with his own studio. In 1935 he formed Selznick International Pictures, and distributed his films through United Artists. His successes continued with classics such as, A Star Is Born , The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and Gone with the Wind , which remains the highest-grossing film of all time (adjusted for inflation). Gone with the Wind won eight Oscars and two special awards. He produced his second Best Picture Oscar winner in a row, Rebecca , the first Hollywood production of British director Alfred Hitchcock. Selznick had brought Hitchcock over from England, launching the director's American career. Rebecca was Hitchcock's only film to win Best Picture. Gone with the Wind overshadowed the rest of Selznick's career. Later, he was convinced that he had wasted his life trying to outdo it. The closest he came to matching the film was with Duel in the Sun. With a huge budget, the film is known for causing moral upheaval because of the then risqué script written by Selznick. The film would be a major success. The film was the second highest-grossing film of 1947 and was the first movie that Martin Scorsese saw, inspiring Scorsese's own directorial career. He died from heart attack at the age of 63 in Hollywood, California.22 June 1969 – Judy Garland - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judy_GarlandBorn Frances Ethel Gumm, American actress, singer, and dancer. During a career that spanned 45 years, she attained international stardom as an actress in both musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist, and on the concert stage. Garland began performing in vaudeville as a child with her two older sisters and was later signed to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a teenager. She appeared in more than two dozen films for MGM and is remembered for portraying Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz. Garland was a frequent on-screen partner of both Mickey Rooney and Gene Kelly. Although her film career became intermittent thereafter, two of Garland's most critically acclaimed performances came later in her career: she received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in A Star Is Born (1954) and a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Judgment at Nuremberg. At age 39, Garland became the youngest and first female recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in the film industry. In 1997, Garland was posthumously awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Several of her recordings have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and in 1999, the American Film Institute placed her among the 10 greatest female stars of classic American cinema. She died from Barbiturate overdose at the age of 47 in London.22 June 1990 – Ilya Frank - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilya_FrankIlya Mikhailovich Frank, Soviet winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1958 jointly with Pavel Alekseyevich Cherenkov and Igor Y. Tamm, also of the Soviet Union. He received the award for his work in explaining the phenomenon of Cherenkov radiation. In 1934, Frank moved to the Institute of Physics and Mathematics of the USSR Academy of Sciences . Here he started working on nuclear physics, a new field for him. He became interested in the effect discovered by Pavel Cherenkov, that charged particles moving through water at high speeds emit light. Together with Igor Tamm, he developed a theoretical explanation: the effect occurs when charged particles travel through an optically transparent medium at speeds greater than the speed of light in that medium, causing a shock wave in the electromagnetic field. The amount of energy radiated in this process is given by the Frank–Tamm formula. The discovery and explanation of the effect resulted in the development of new methods for detecting and measuring the velocity of high-speed nuclear particles and became of great importance for research in nuclear physics. Cherenkov radiation is also widely used in biomedical research for detection of radioactive isotopes. He died at the age of 81 in Moscow.Famous Birthdays22 June 1834 – William Chester Minor - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Chester_MinorAlso known as W. C. Minor, American army surgeon and one of the largest contributors of quotations to the Oxford English Dictionary. He was also held in a psychiatric hospital from 1872 to 1910 after he murdered George Merrett. It was probably through his correspondence with the London booksellers that he heard of the call for volunteers for what was to become the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). He devoted most of the remainder of his life to that work. He became one of the project's most effective volunteers, reading through his large personal library of antiquarian books and compiling quotations that illustrated the way particular words were used. He was often visited by the widow of the man he had killed, and she provided him with further books. The compilers of the dictionary published lists of words for which they wanted examples of usage. Minor provided these, with increasing ease as the lists grew. It was many years before the OED's editor, Dr. James Murray, learned Minor's background history, and visited him in January 1891. In 1899 Murray paid compliment to Minor's enormous contributions to the dictionary, stating, "we could easily illustrate the last four centuries from his quotations alone." He was born in Ceylon22 June 1898 – Erich Maria Remarque - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Maria_RemarqueBorn Erich Paul Remark, 20th-century German novelist. His landmark novel All Quiet on the Western Front (1928), about the German military experience of World War I, was an international best-seller which created a new literary genre, and was subsequently made into the film All Quiet on the Western Front. Remarque had made his first attempts at writing at the age of 16. Among them were essays, poems, and the beginnings of a novel that was finished later and published in 1920 as The Dream Room (Die Traumbude). All Quiet on the Western Front (Im Westen nichts Neues) (1929), his career defining work, was written in 1927. Remarque was at first unable to find a publisher for it. Its text described the experiences of German soldiers during World War I. On publication it became an international bestseller and a landmark work in twentieth-century literature. It inspired a new genre of veterans writing about conflict, and the commercial publication of a wide variety of war memoirs. It also inspired dramatic representations of the war in theatre and cinema, in Germany as well as in countries that had fought in the conflict against the German Empire, particularly the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Remarque continued to write about the German experience after WWI. His next novel, Three Comrades (Drei Kameraden), spans the years of the Weimar Republic, from the hyperinflation of 1923 to the end of the decade. His fourth novel, Flotsam (in German titled Liebe deinen Nächsten, or Love Thy Neighbour), first appeared in a serial version in English in 1939. His next work, the novel Arch of Triumph, was first published in 1945 in English, and the next year in German as Arc de Triomphe. Another instant bestseller, it reached worldwide sales of nearly five million. His final novel was Shadows in Paradise. He as born in Osnabrück,German Empire.22 June 1899 – Richard Gurley Drew - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Gurley_DrewAmerican inventor who worked for Johnson and Johnson, Permacel Co., and 3M in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he invented masking tape and cellophane tape. While testing their new Wetordry sandpaper at auto shops, Drew was intrigued to learn that the two-tone auto paint jobs so popular in the Roaring Twenties were difficult to manage at the border between the two colors. In response, after two years of work in 3M's labs, Drew invented the first masking tape, a two-inch-wide tan paper strip backed with a light, pressure-sensitive adhesive. The first tape had adhesive along its edges but not in the middle. In its first trial run, it fell off the car and the frustrated auto painter growled at Drew, "take this tape back to those Scotch bosses of yours and tell them to put more adhesive on it!" (By "Scotch," he meant "cheap".) The nickname stuck, both to Drew's improved masking tape, and to his 1930 invention, Scotch Brand cellulose tape. In 1930 he came up with the world's first transparent cellophane adhesive tape (called sellotape in the UK and Scotch tape in the United States). During the Great Depression, people began using Scotch tape to repair items rather than replace them. This was the beginning of 3M’s diversification into all manner of marketplaces and helped them to flourish in spite of the Great Depression. He was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota.22 June 1958 – Bruce Campbell - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_CampbellBruce Lorne Campbell, American actor, voice actor, producer, writer and director. One of his best-known roles is Ash Williams in Sam Raimi's Evil Dead franchise, beginning with the 1978 short film Within the Woods. He has starred in many low-budget cult films such as Maniac Cop , Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat, and Bubba Ho-Tep . In television, Campbell had lead roles in The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. and Jack of All Trades , and a recurring role as Autolycus,King of Thieves, in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess . He played Sam Axe on the USA Network series Burn Notice and reprised his role as Ash Williams on the Starz series Ash vs. Evil Dead. Campbell started his directing career with Fanalysis and A Community Speaks, and then with the horror comedy feature films Man with the Screaming Brain and My Name Is Bruce, the latter being a spoof of his career. Campbell is featured as a voice actor in several video game titles. He provides the voice of Ash in the three games based on the Evil Dead film series: Evil Dead: Hail to the King,Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick and Evil Dead: Regeneration. In addition to acting and occasionally directing, Campbell has become a writer, starting with an autobiography, If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor, published on August 24, 2002. The autobiography was a successful New York Times Best Seller.If Chins Could Kill follows Campbell's career to date as an actor in low-budget films and television, providing his insight into "Blue-Collar Hollywood". He was born in Royal Oak, Michigan.Events of Interest22 June 1633 – The Holy Office in Rome forces Galileo Galilei to recant his view that the Sun, not the Earth, is the center of the Universe in the form he presented it in, after heated controversy. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_affair#Trial_and_second_judgment,_1633Galileo was interrogated while threatened with physical torture. A panel of theologians, consisting of Melchior Inchofer, Agostino Oreggi and Zaccaria Pasqualigo, reported on the Dialogue. Their opinions were strongly argued in favour of the view that the Dialogue taught the Copernican theory. Galileo was found guilty, and the sentence of the Inquisition, issued on 22 June 1633, was in three essential parts:Galileo was found "vehemently suspect of heresy", namely of having held the opinions that the Sun lies motionless at the center of the universe, that the Earth is not at its centre and moves, and that one may hold and defend an opinion as probable after it has been declared contrary to Holy Scripture. He was required to "abjure, curse, and detest" those opinions.He was sentenced to formal imprisonment at the pleasure of the Inquisition. On the following day this was commuted to house arrest, which he remained under for the rest of his life.His offending Dialogue was banned; and in an action not announced at the trial, publication of any of his works was forbidden, including any he might write in the future.22 June 1978 – End of the World came in theatres in Columbia - https://www.scifihistory.net/june-22.htmlOn this day in 1978 (in Colombia), End of the World served up yet one Apocalyptic-themed SciFi/Thriller. The feature film starred Christopher Lee (in a dual role) and Sue Lyon, and here's the premise as cited "After witnessing a man's death in a bizarre accident, Father Pergado goes on a spiritual retreat, where he encounters his alien double bent on world conquest." For no apparent reason, French distributors cut the movie down to one hour and fifteen minutes for its French theatrical release, Sir Christopher Lee only appearing in its prologue and its conclusion. Sir Christopher Lee has said about this movie: "Some of the films I've been in I regret making. I got conned into making these pictures in almost every case by people who lied to me. Some years ago, I got a call from my producers saying that they were sending me a script and that five very distinguished American actors were also going to be in the film. Actors like José Ferrer, Dean Jagger, and John Carradine. So I thought "Well, that's all right by me". But it turned out it was a complete lie. Appropriately, the film was called End Of The World."22 June 1978 – Charon, the first of Pluto's satellites to be discovered, was first seen at the United States Naval Observatory by James W. Christy. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charon_(moon)#DiscoveryOn June 22, 1978, he had been examining highly magnified images of Pluto on photographic plates taken with the telescope two months prior. Christy noticed that a slight elongation appeared periodically. The blob seemed to move around Pluto. The direction of elongation cycled back and forth over 6.39 days―Pluto's rotation period. Searching through their archives of Pluto images taken years before, Christy found more cases where Pluto appeared elongated. Additional images confirmed he had discovered the first known moon of Pluto. The International Astronomical Union formally announced Christy's discovery to the world on July 7, 1978. After its discovery, Charon was originally known by the temporary designation S/1978 P 1, according to the then recently instituted convention. On June 24, 1978, Christy first suggested the name Charon as a scientific-sounding version of his wife Charlene's nickname, "Char".IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes -https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS -http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/Email - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comSupport via Podhero- https://podhero.com/podcast/449127/nerds-amalgamatedRate & Review us on Podchaser - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/nerds-amalgamated-623195

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news nothing good is happening.The American level of new jobless claims has skyrocketed to just under 300,000 last week, up from 211,000 the previous week. This will just be the start and is an early warning of what is about to happen to employment there. And pain will rise as continuing claims actually fell, meaning more people had their jobless benefits end last week.Already, the US is seeing a surge in foreclosures and evictions in their housing market.The next regional factory survey is out from the Pennsylvania manufacturing heartland and it is not good. It reported a dive in new orders.Data for the US 20196 current account was released overnight and their deficit widened somewhat. But as a proportion of US GDP, it is -2.3%, and down from -2.4% in 2018.On Wall Street, a minor rally is being attempted, with the S&P500 up +1.8%, but that really only embeds the recent very sharp falls. Since the start of March the S&P500 is down -18% and since the start of 2020 it is down -24% keeping it firmly in a strong bear market.At least in China, there seems to be more movement in getting significant parts of their country back to work. Fear of reinfection runs high however.Around the world, governments and central banks are all announcing "whatever it takes" policies. The ECB promised at least €¾ tln in euro support. The US Fed was already in for US$1½ tln and the US Government is in for at least US$1 tln. Australia chipped in yesterday with at least AU$100 bln. These are already enormous levels of financial support, all within the past few days, and all vastly higher than for the whole GFC. More debt and more money printing hardly seems a long term answer. There huge short term band-aids will undoubtedly grow substantially from here. And just what will the global financial system look like when the virus emergency wanes, as it undoubtedly will? Massive debt cancellation will have to be on the table, surely.Around the world, tax revenues are about to plunge just at the time public debt is about to soar.And this crisis may in fact spell the end of cash notes and coins in retail transactions, except for hoarding. [Advert]And we have a special message today.If you value this report and want to ensure to is available in the future, we ask you go on to interest.co.nz and show that support by clicking on the “Become a Supporter” button at the top of any page.Good journalism and independent financial news coverage is an expensive business and we need your support to keep doing what we do. The latest compilation of Covid-19 data is here. The global tally is now 229,000 of officially confirmed cases and rising by the hour now, up +80% in a week. There are now 148,000 cases outside China and European cases now exceed the Chinese cases. The Chinese recovery rate is up to 87%. The American explosion continues, with total cases over 10,000 and they are up 105% in one day. Ironically, the Americans are advising against overseas travel but it is destinations who are most at risk from travelling Americans. Spanish cases are also still rising very fast, up +54% in one day. The number of confirmed infections is also up +50% in a day in Australia. The global official death toll now is now well over 9000 and will undoubtedly exceed 10,000 early in the weekend. More people have now died in Italy from coronavirus than have died in China. New Zealand has eight new cases of Covid-19, all overseas travel related and bringing the total to 28. Our borders are now shut.In Australia, Qantas and Jetstar have cancelled all international flights; only rescue mission to repatriate citizens will now be flown.And yesterday we should note that Aussie jobs growth was strong in February. But no-one thinks this will continue much longer.The UST 10yr yield hasn't been able to hold yesterday's sharp rise, down -13 bps and now at 1.07%. Gold is down -US$14 to US$1,472 today.But US oil prices have bounced back sharply today, up almost +US5/bbl to just over US$25/bbl with the Brent benchmark just over US$28/bbl. Volatility is sure to become normal in commodity pricing now.The Kiwi dollar starting today with a recovery from yesterday's pummelling. It is up ½c to 58.2 USc - still, we are still near an eleven year low. On the cross rates however we are little-changed at 99.4 AUc. Against the euro we are also sharply higher that yesterday's low at 54.5 euro cents. That means our TWI-5 is now just over 66.Bitcoin has leapt higher today, now at US$6,195 and an +18% jump from this time yesterday.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.Get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz and subscribe to receive this podcast in your favourite podcast app - we're on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or subscribe on our website.Tell your friends and leave us a review - we welcome feedback.
